Fake ID Criminal Defense

In general, fake ID charges are filed after someone is suspected of carrying a false ID, fake ID, forged ID card, fake driver’s license or using someone else’s driver’s license. Often these charges are in conjunction with DUI, underage drinking charges or charges involving attempting to purchase alcohol or entering a bar or club.

Other charges may include attempting to purchase a fake driver’s license over the Internet or in person or producing and distributing fake IDs.

Most driver’s licenses contain numerous built in security features that help authorities detect counterfeit IDs.

Once fake ID charges have been filed against you or your loved one, hiring a criminal defense attorney is a key step in protecting your rights. An attorney will be able to meet with you to answer your questions about the false ID charges you are facing and what your legal options are:

• What are Pennsylvania’s laws concerning fake IDs?
• Can I get fake ID charges dismissed?
• Can I get fake driver’s license charges thrown out?
• Will I go to jail for using a fake IDs?
• How do I know if my arrest for carrying a fake ID was legal?

• Do I have to go to court for attempting to buy alcohol with a fake driver’s license?
• Can I get a plea bargain for fake ID charges?
• Will I lose my driver’s license after being charged with carrying a fake ID?
• Will a fake ID charge remain on my record?
• Will I go to jail for attempting to buy a fake ID?
• Can I go to jail for producing or selling forged or fake driver’s licenses?
